The Pober Super Ace was a single-seat sports aircraft designed as a homebuilt aircraft by Orland Corben in 1935. A set of plans and construction articles appeared in Popular Aviation between April and October that year and were later marketed by Corben.

It was a single seat parasol wing monoplane of conventional taildragger configuration. As published, the plans called for an engine from a Ford Model A to be modified to power the aircraft.

Rights to the aircraft were sold to Paul Poberezny with the rest of the Corben company's assets. Plans are currently offered for sale by Acro Sport.
